Chapter 12: Punishment {1}
Eastern Wing
At night, the weather instantly darkens, it gets cloudy and bits of lightning are in the dark skies, looking like it wants to rain. Once again after the bathhouse, I was dressed in my nightwear, heading for our chambers, I figured this is how it will be now.
My heart slammed loudly in my chest as I and Olivia walked the lobby, I was nervous, extremely nervous I would have to face Cedric tonight.
I stood in front of the door and turned to Olivia. She smiled.
"Good night my Lady, see you tomorrow," she said bowing as she left. I wanted to call her back but I shut my mouth, facing the door back. I stepped in, the door shutting behind me.
My eyes drifted to where Cedric was, he was busy at the bookshelves near the chair set. His jacket off, I gulped hard as I took a deep breath and walked towards him, he didn’t acknowledge my presence and I didn’t care. The most important thing I had to do right now was to apologize.
"I’m sorry about last night," I began.
He opened a book and started reading, one hand in his pocket, his back facing me, I sighed.
"I’m sorry for kissing you and-".
"And almost having your own way with me" he cut me off, I gulped.
My mind drifted to the sensual kiss I gave when I was tipsy, I blushed. He turned to face me and shut the book, earning a loud noise, I jumped slightly at the sound.
